INFO: lockdep is turned off.
In this example a slab allocation from __send_signal() caused a
refilling and draining of a percpu objcg stock, resulted in a releasing
of another non-related objcg. Objcg release path requires taking the
css_set_lock, which is used to synchronize objcg lists.
This can create a circular dependency with the sighandler lock, which is
taken with the locked css_set_lock by the freezer code (to freeze a
task).
In general it seems that using css_set_lock to synchronize objcg lists
makes any slab allocations and deallocation with the locked css_set_lock
and any intervened locks risky.
To fix the problem and make the code more robust let's stop using
css_set_lock to synchronize objcg lists and use a new dedicated spinlock
instead.
